The Troy Police Department needs the public’s help to identify a shoe thief.

On May 17 around 6:30 p.m., a man entered a local store, took off his black size 9 Nike flip flop sandals and put on a pair of black size 9 Nike Air Max Axis shows. He then put his sandals on a shelf and left the store without paying for the new shoes.
